Author: jayb61

a friend e mailed me about this type of train becoming common on BNSF on the Chili Sub. he said todays train was 3x2x2 and he saw 1 last week @ GAL with a lash up of 3x2x1. will this type of train stop @ WS or continue on to the east coast? can I guess some cars r for WS and the remainder for the east coast? tyia

From my experience, these tend to run out of the SoCal harbor with international boxes, so their final destination is usually "Logistics Park Chicago" (LPC), just south of Joliet.

I'm guessing GAL refers to Galesburg, IL and WS refers to Willow Springs, IL.

These trains have nothing to do with Willow Springs as that facility has historically only handled trailers (basically) but now also handles containers but only for UPS and possibly FedEx.
